When did you realize "Oh damn, I'm OLD"??

[WorldWatcher]

Mine will be tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my last day of work before retirement.

This is what I'm wearing into the office.

When I realized I was only 6 foot 2 and used to be 6'3". Only old people shrink.

I think I realized I was old when ...
I turned 70. Something about that number just sent a shock wave up my spine.
And another thing ... seeing all the old rock stars dying almost daily and remembering when they were just a couple of years older than me.

Congratulations! It's been 12 years and 2 days since I did it. Like falling off a log, LOL, too bad we can't turn the politics off on that day as well.

I won't say I realized I was old...

..... ..... But there came a day when I realized I'd never be carded again when buying alcohol.

..... ..... ..... ..... That was a sad day.

Sadly, for reasons that totally escape me, here in central Ohio, I still have to produce my card almost every time. I try not to get mad at the cashiers because it's not their fault. But it's absolutely absurd for a guy in his seventies to still have to show ID to buy a g.d. beer.

When some young fat chick working at Sheetz addressed me as "Hey Pops"

When I sat down and crushed my balls.

I keep forgetting you identify as male. I think it's the avatar

The day I realized I had old man boobs and should always wear a shirt.

 

[buttercup]

There was a point where folks, mostly youngsters, would address me as 'Sir' .........at which i awkwardly looked behind myself........ ~S~

I hate it when customer service people on the phone call me "mam".... I know that in other parts of the country that's considered respectful, but where I'm from, it's actually insulting. My voice doesn't even sound old, but I'm sure they're just trained to address everyone in that "sir" or "mam" way.

Move to Utah. Their new law requires everyone to show ID---no exceptions.

Its the same in WA--some places have gotten to the place that they just ask for your birthdate. NV is doing the same to purchase tobacco products.

Some poor young cashier yesterday was forced to ask for my ID.
Of course, I didn't take my frustration out on her. I smiled and handed my drivers license to her and said, "Is this the dumbest law in the history of mankind? You can tell by looking at me I'm just a bit over 21."
She laughed and said, "I have to ask people for ID if they're buying a lighter."
How fucked up is that?
I don't know if it's state law or corporate policy (this was a Target) but it's rampant anymore. Dehumanizing bullshit.

Yeah, you don't have to have an ID to vote, but you have to show one to buy cigs, alcohol or A LIGHTER? That's a new one. I've never seen that done. WOW.

A ******* LIGHTER.
But, as you brilliantly pointed out, many don't think you even need to produce ID to vote.
How fucked up is that?

I hate being called "sir", and used to get upset by it, but now I just accept it.

If a young woman addressed me as sir, I'd tell them, "if you don't call me sir, I won't call you ma'am"

Sometimes they'd laugh.

Moobs.
Seinfeld had an episode about a bra for man-boobs. They called it A bro.

I'm going to try that one the next time a customer service agent on the other side of the world calls me "mam".... Thanks for the idea
